The last group of Mountain Hardwear folks gather for their final day of canyoneering on 4/20/08.

This is the AM safety talk before the group heads out.

Thanks to Mountain Hardwear for visiting us for 4 days in the canyons!

ACA (American Canyoneering Association) International Canyon Rendezvous hosted at our place March 21st - 26th 2008. Guests came from all over the globe, including Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Brazil and Nepal! What a blast we had!

The weather is great today and we are on our first of four days of taking Mountain Hardwear out in the canyons. They are here for their 2nd Annual Rendezvous, testing gear etc. Let's see how it holds up when they are out with Rick!
